The pier smells of salt and diesel; morning sun sharpens the cliffs of Cape Greco while the crew welcomes families aboard Aretousa. As the boat slips away from Protaras Pier, the shoreline draws close — Fig Tree Bay’s pale sand slides past, cliffs cut clean into the sea, and the water dares you to dive in.

The pier smells of salt and diesel; morning sun sharpens the cliffs of Cape Greco while the crew welcomes families aboard Aretousa. As the boat slips away from Protaras Pier, the shoreline draws close — Fig Tree Bay’s pale sand slides past, cliffs cut clean into the sea, and the water dares you to dive in.
This three-hour coastal cruise threads past the eastern headlands of Cyprus, pausing at secluded Turtle Coves and ending at the Blue Lagoon. Geology here is limestone carved by waves into caves and natural arches; the clear, shallow shelves support Posidonia meadows that feed fish and attract loggerhead turtles. Culturally, the route skirts fishing coves and the tiny chapel sites of Cape Greco, where locals have long read weather in the color of the sea.
Expect two extended swim stops for snorkeling among colorful reef fish and occasional sea turtles; masks and noodles are provided and life jackets are available for children. Crew-led safety briefings keep things family-friendly, and onboard snacks and drinks let you recharge between swims. Photography opportunities are constant — sea caves, Lovers Bridge, and the turquoise pool of the Blue Lagoon.
Practical guidance: arrive 15 minutes early to the first gate on the left at Protaras Pier, bring reef-safe sunscreen, and secure loose cameras when approaching caves. Morning departures are calmer for snorkeling; check weather-closure policies and cancelation windows if conditions worsen. This cruise balances accessible adventure with solid local know-how.
Yes — the crew supplies snorkeling masks, noodles, and life jackets for guests; you may bring your own mask if preferred.
